Former GRDB accountant gets adjournment to continue defence after lawyer exits case

Peter Ramcharran

Former Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB) accountant Peter Ramcharran, who is on trial for allegedly falsifying the entity’s accounts, was on Monday granted an adjournment to continue leading his defence after a city court heard that he had new representation.

Ramcharran appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan on Monday but neither his attorney, Sase Gunraj, nor the witness who was expected continue testifying as part of his defence, showed up.

Instead, Ramcharran and attorney-at-law Ronald Daniels appeared at the court and informed the magistrate of the change.
